About the Book
This volume presents a groundbreaking study on the influence of Renaissance painting on Biblical themes and its profound impact on Mughal art and patronage. With their fascination for naturalism and exotic details, Mughal rulers—Akbar (r. 1556–1605), Jahangir (r. 1605–1627), and Shah Jahan (r. 1628–1657)—encouraged the assimilation of European artistic traditions within their courts at Fatehpur Sikri, Agra, Lahore, and Delhi.
The book carefully analyzes the nurture and adaptation of Biblical art in India, tracing its aesthetic and cultural significance, and shedding light on how it reshaped aspects of Indian painting traditions. Often overlooked in Indian art historical studies, this subject is here given comprehensive attention with scholarly depth.
